I have used the custom date format 'EEE' to display the day of week in short form. i.e. Mo, Di, Mi (in German). In my development environment it works as desired. However on both the Test and Production platform I get the day-of-week index - 1, 2, 3, ...

Other Date and Numerical formats are working fine and are appropriate for the German Locale.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

What I expect is

Mi
11. Sep

what I get is

4
11. Sep

Not really an answer but this is my work-around.

["Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa", "So"][BirtDateTime.weekDay(row["Date"], 3)]

This is hardcoded for German. I needed an immediate solution....

I tried with 3.7.2 with both my standard locale (English), and with German selected. Both worked from Eclipse and from Tomcat. Can you set me up a simple example with the sample database that give you this issue so I can test it? Thanks!
